Hey everyone! Well, I FINALLY got another idea to use and I have already written it down in my HEAD don't I feel special!
Reviewers:
Fox gal: Trust me, I know what I'm doing with this story and I know I'm always having Hiei with the problems, but I'm sorry that's just the type of writer I am. I started out writing Hiei and suicide fictions so I'm more suited for that. This chapter or the next one should even it out a bit. I need some help though. with what type of Kurama problems would be though. If you want to help!
Kagome-reincarnation: Well, I am going to do that in this one, but sadly I don't think I want to use ALL of it. Thank you for submitting one though!
Kikira-san: Thank you for ALL of those ideas, I really appreciate it and I will defiantly be reverting back to them for more ides/inspiration on my writing. Um.. about Hiei leaving for the night and then coming back suddenly. It DID say he came back in the morning in the next chapter, he is just a solitary type person and likes doing things on his own rather then with others. Um, so he just felt like doing that I suppose. Hope that helped in the least.
Chapter 15: NT (No Title.)
(By the way if this chapter is short I'm sorry!)
Hiei's P.O.V
It had been a couple days since I had first gotten sick. and had instantly regained all my energy and gotten well from all the 'rest' Kurama made me have.
Where as it was torture to me for some reason.
Now, I lay against the wall early in the morning, my hand loosely on the white paint on the walls; I was as humans said 'spaced out'. I hadn't seen my fox all morning, which seemed a little odd, but I paid no mind.
Suddenly out of nowhere, the smell of salt mixed with water or tears filled my nose. Odd, why would I smell this of all things and at such a random moment?
I sat up, looking around the room and sniffing the air for anything more. Blood? Blood mixed with tears what an odd combination for Kurama's house. I stood up, deciding to track down the source of this odd smell.
The hall was quite and abandoned nothing moved, almost like it had been frozen straight in time. I walked quietly, smelling the air and catching the scent of blood and tears.
It was coming from the bathroom, but… wait! Then it hit me. Instantly, I went into the bathroom and immediately found Kurama leaning against the wall, head bent down.
His shoulders moved up and down in a broken pace. "Kurama?" I called, almost in a whisper, literally at a lose of words at this time.
I went and sat in front of him as he looked up at me, his usual calm and collected emerald eyes were now stricken with fear, and pain. "Kurama, what…. what happened?" I asked, trying to keep myself collected, but it was proving hard to do.
"I'm sorry, Hiei." He said, his head falling back down in obvious shame.
"Why, for what?" I asked trying to lift his head back up. There was no way I would have him falling in shame or apologizing to me. It wasn't right and I would never allow it.
"I'm sorry, Hiei….. I-I can't stop." He said, leaning back a bit, showing his bloodied arm that lay against him.
"Wh-? We need to get you bandaged." I said, trying harder to calm myself.
Kurama had cut himself again, I hated seeing this happen. It seemed now, he was in the addicting phase of cutting and I didn't want to watch him suffer through that. I grabbed the white box that I had watched him put away only a few days ago and returned to where he was sitting.
I quickly looked back into his face. He looked so wrong, it pained my very soul to see him this way. Streams of liquid went down his face in continuous silent tears and his blood was still flowing from the long gash in his arm.
Gently I took his arm, trying my hardest to hold it as soft as possible as I tried to apply the same stinging gel that he always placed on me. Then I started wrapping it in the pearly white cloth.
"I'm sorry, Hiei." He apologized again as I stayed silent, trying to focus on doing this right. "I couldn't stop myself." He said, obviously showing that he was really upset about the whole situation.
"Why did you do it, koi?" I asked, cutting the bandage and getting the stuff to keep it on.
"It felt like I needed it. Painful thoughts were running threw my head and it was the only way to make it stop." He said, his head falling as I finished.
I really didn't know what would comfort him in this time, so I did the only thing I could think of. Wrapping my arms around him and slowly pulling him against my body.
"It's okay." I said, feeling his ragged breathing. "It's okay, koi." I really didn't know how to tell him the truth, but then again maybe he already knew how addicting cutting could become.
"You…." I paused trying to choose my words carefully knowing they would all affect me in a different way. "You don't have to do that. You can't." I brought myself to say, seeing how much of a emotional time this was becoming.
"Why?" He asked in a low voice, taking in small gasps of air as if unable to get needed air to his lungs.
I stayed silent a moment deciding what to say. "You should not have to see your own blood to heal your memories or whatever trouble your having."
"What else is there?" He was obviously not thinking right, right now or else he would have already known the answer to that question.
"You can confide in someone, Kurama. Tell someone else what your thinking or write it down." I said, not even believing these words were coming from my mouth.
I knew the situation was worse then I was letting on. and I knew he probably knew it to. but I wouldn't let him know it, if I could help it. "Anything, Kurama, just not this." I said, leaning down until my face was in his silky soft red hair.
He was still crying, I could feel it in him. He was in such a broken state now, it pained me even more to see him like this and not be able to do anything about it.
"I'm sorry, Hiei. I'm so sorry, I failed." I hated hearing him talk like this.
Normal P.O.V
"Stop, I don't want to hear that from you!" Hiei said, pushing him back and staring straight into the kitsune's broken and pained emerald eyes.
"I have never known you to give up without a fight or ever give up. This is no exception, you won't give up and I won't let you." Hiei said sternly, trying desperately to get his message across.
"I understand." Kurama finally said, a small smile appearing across his face. Kurama and Hiei stood up, but still staying in their spot. "Thank you, Hiei."
The fire demon stayed silent a moment and looked up at his koi wondering what to say now. "I told you I would help you and I will keep to my word." Hiei explained, looking away.
"I think we should go out." Kurama said after a few moments of silence between the two demon lovers.
"Nani?" Hiei asked, a slightly confused look on his face.
"I think we should do something today, to help clear our minds you know?" The fox explained.
Hiei's P.O.V
I looked confused at my koi. Where had this come from so suddenly? I let out my breath, a blank and yet defeated look overtaking my features. The smile on Kurama's face was pure and genuine. I couldn't tell him no for anything.
"Fine, what do you have in mind?" I finally said as his smile got larger and he grabbed my hand, pulling me out into the hallway.
"My mother is going to be home all day, but is working the night shift at work so I think we should spend the day out in town." He explained, but I knew that wasn't the true reason why he wanted us to go out.
Just then Shiori's words entered my head?
Flashback:
"Hiei?" Shiori called, stopping the fire demon as Kurama continued down the hall.
He looked back, but didn't dare say anything.
"Take care of Shuuichi please." His eyes widened completely, knowing what she meant. "How did you-…."
"Call it a mothers instinct. He likes you, I know it and by the way you act, I can tell you do to." She explained, standing and walking over to him.
Hiei nodded. "I will."
End flashback:
(I understand that that was in the wrong point of view, but I was coping it straight from the actual chapter.)
Then I had to wonder? Was I really taking care of the fox? Was I living up to what she wanted or what I had promised to her? Why did I even care if I obeyed her wishes or not, I didn't know.
Kurama pulled me out into the bright afternoon sunshine. It had been particularly cool the last few days as he had explained then and today made no difference.
"What did you have in mind, fox?" I asked, finally letting go of me as we reached the end of the driveway.
He was silent a moment thinking about what to do. "I know!" He said, grabbing my hand and dragging me down the crowded sidewalk.
"Where are we going, Kurama?" I asked to him the whole time, not liking the fact that humans surrounded me.
"You'll see." He said and I saw him smile a bit.
EVERYONE PLEASE REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT THE TWO SHOULD DO FOR THE DAY!
A/N: Yes as you have read, please tell me what you think the two demon lovers should do for the day! AND let me tell you that since Kurama's mother is going to be gone and Hiei is better that means only one thing. A LEMON IS COMING!
IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS ABOUT THE LEMON OR ANYTHING ELSE, PLEASE TELL ME THOSE TOO! Cause I so NOT plan on writing it! As far as I know, someone else is and if they DON'T, then you all might not get your lemon > .
